The Complete Michael D. Echanis Collection is a comprehensive compilation of the highly popular three-volume Special Tactics series (Knife Fighting, Knife Throwing for Combat; Basic Stick Fighting for Combat; and Knife Self-Defense for Combat) from legendary soldier Michael D. Echanis. Since the series first hit the martial arts scene in 1977, Echanis' unique approach to hand-to-hand combat has revolutionized reality-based fighting.
Based on the ancient tactics of hwa rang do and the Hwarang warriors, The Complete Michael D. Echanis Collection combines close-quarters combat with lethal strategies, creating an essential read for the modern-day fighter. Tactics and techniques include why proper grip is essential when fighting with a weapon (knives, sticks, or canes), what techniques will disarm and control a potential attacker, how to develop ki power, and sentry stalking.
"Although his life was cut tragically short, Michael Echanis had a profound impact on the martial arts world and the direction of modern military combative training. He combined his personal quest for a comprehensive warrior art with an uncompromising commitment to combative function." ––Michael Janich
